The 2014 Asian Windsurfing Championship returns to Singapore and will take place from 22nd to 26th January from the National Sailing Centre. It is a new venue for this championship, but the National Sailing centre has hosted many international sailing events, including the 2010 inaugural Youth Olympic Games sailing regatta.

No less than three classes will be awarding their Asian titles at the SIM 33rd Singapore Open Windsurfing Championships.

For sailors in the Techno 293 Class it will be their continental qualifier for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games - with 3 places available in both the boys and girls windsurfing events.

Sailors compete to qualify their countries, those countries can then engage in their own national selection process, to select competitors, before the Games in August 2014.

The olympic class, RS:X, and the ex-olympic class, Mistral One Design, will also be awarding Asian titles. These two classes have extra significance in Asia as they are events, both for women & men, in the Asian Games.

The championship will once again thank its title sponsor SIM - Singapore Institute of Management - for its continued support AND participation. Every year the regatta includes an event specifically for SIM students and attracts a big entry for an event where skill is secondary to effort and enthusiasm !
